Belarus host San Marino in the UEFA Nations League. Belarus have been winning regularly in their recent matches, while San Marino have found wins hard to come by at all.
The two sides met a couple of times back in 2018, and those games went one way quite comfortably. Whether that gap has narrowed or widened since is worth digging into before thinking about how this one might go.

Two very different runs

Belarus: 9 completed matches; San Marino: 7 completed matches.

San Marino's record over their last six is the opposite story. No wins, one draw, five defeats, and only four goals scored against ten conceded. It's a run that points to a side struggling for results in this window.
Belarus arrive with real momentum, San Marino with almost none.

A lopsided history, though it's dated
The only previous meetings on record came in the 2018 Nations League, and Belarus won both. A 5-0 win at home and a 2-0 away win don't leave much room for doubt about how those particular games went.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UEFA Nations League | San Marino | Belarus | 18.11.2018 | 0-2 |
| UEFA Nations League | Belarus | San Marino | 08.09.2018 | 5-0 |
That said, 2018 is a long time back. Squads change a lot over eight years, so this shouldn't be treated as proof of how the current group stack up against each other.

Goals could well be part of this one
San Marino have been leaking goals at a rate of over one and a half per game in their recent matches, while Belarus have been scoring freely, averaging well over two a game across their last eight.
Put those trends together with the history of one-sided scorelines between these two, and there's a reasonable case for expecting goals, particularly at Belarus's end of the pitch.

Everything here points towards Belarus being much the stronger side heading into this game, both on recent form and on the history between the two teams. San Marino's defensive numbers in particular look like a real concern for them.
Without a market to weigh up against that picture, though, there's nothing concrete to recommend here. The overall direction is clear enough, but that's a different thing from having a specific price worth backing.
